Mao overrotated the second jump in a combination and doubled the other one. otherwise she was great as usual. the other ladies must have skated brilliantly.Chan's score is unbeliavably high. it's still so new. he hasn't got the 4T-3T combo and still he had higher score than Brian. it's all about the new scoring system I guess; when they need to be perfect in every element.I was so shocked when I saw that Tessa/Scott are 2nd! I've never really thought that Davis/White have such a high level. worlds are definitely going to be interesting in every single category :greensmilewink

Wow, I´m surprised as everyone of you here about the Men. However, not that much about the ice dance result. I mean Tessa & Scott are great, but I totally love Meryl&Charlie´s FD this year, plus the mistake from T&S, so not that surprising Btw. did you notice that Tessa & Scott´s FD contains the same song by Pink Floyd which Isa & Oli skate to in their FD? Yes, the Worlds ARE going to be interesting indeed!

finally I discovered what a talent Chan and Abbot have. Patrick's landings are unbelievably smooth. wow. I was stunned by them. and Evan was great too. I particularly liked the choreography Oda was kind of boring to me, sorry congrats to Yu-Na and Mao

well for me chan is slowly or not so slowly becoming my new lambiel or plushy. i mean he is my new guy that i can't stand and that i can't swallow no matter the amount of salt. well it feels good to have a new guy to focus my mean comments on. i was starting to miss lambiel

Irina, you are so funny! Count on me too for not stand the new canadian pet Chan. I prefer Lambiel hundred times than the new overscored Chan, at least S.L had some quads although Chan has a lot of judges on his pocket...

I've only watched Ladies FS on TV yesterday. ... I think ...Mao's performance wasn't good... It was the worst condition as I've ever seen... I worried about relations of her and Tarasova... She wasn't there at that time... and I heard that rink's width was narrow than others... and 2010 Olympics are held with the same rink....so I think ...Brian had better to be used to a narrow rink...

well it feels good to have a new guy to focus my mean comments on. i was starting to miss lambiel

No more Mrs Nice-guy...welcome back Mrs Meanie!!!!!

Young Mr Chan was receiving incredible marks, never even mind the PCSs, over the two programmes he received about 23.5 bonus marks in GOE on his technical marks - who needs quads when the judges love you that much? (& I do know he has excellent skating skills & transitions etc - but surely that is what PCSs are for!) - its going be interesting to see what happens at LA!

I was delighted to see how well Jeremy Ten skated - he made the 3axel in the LP & moved up to 7th.

I read that Mao was injured & missed some training last month - so that might account for her relatively poor performances. I think that I also read that they will be putting down a full sized rink for Olympics - I'll check & confirm this!

Yes, here is the link (I receive email updates from VANOC) scroll down to the heading "Field of play"

Oh, Thank you Sheena !!!! so they will make full sized rink for Olympics !!??. Japanese TV said that this rink is smaller than usual. and I heard OLY will be held here. so I thought it. it was my mistake !! Thank you !!

Oh thank you Titi for this inform... I'm so sorry for her. In my opinion they don't have to get tired so much, it can be caused worse things... :brak: They're just so young, there will be a lot of years in front of them in the future, but if they keep on getting tired so much now... It could be horrible

I know Tessa had injury, and she makes a lot of effort to get ready again, so I'm so proud of Tessa !! But she should take a rest more, I think. It's important to look at the future safely :brak:
